WSOP Main Event Sets Record! Hellmuth’s Corny Entrance & Big Huni July 4th Party

In the 845th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad
Holloway and Kyna England are joined at
Level 9 Studio by WPT Global's Brad Owen, who
served as special co-host to talk about the latest happenings at
the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP).


This included the record-setting turnout for the
2024 WSOP Main Event, some of the big names
who've fallen and some who are still in contention, and thoughts
about Phil Hellmuth's karate-themed entrance.
Plus, hear about highlights from Chris "Big Huni"
Hunichen's epic 4th of July Party,
recent bracelet winners such as Francis Anderson
and Aditya Agarwal, and how two poker players
were the victims of a vehicle smash-and-grab
robbery.


Owen then shares details about the WPT Global Preheat
Festival, Dan Sepiol's win in the
latest WPT Alpha8 Trifecta, and what's happening
with The Lodge Card Room down in Texas. Finally,
get an update on where things stand in the $25K Fantasy
League, including a bracelet win by Wing Po
Liu of Team Lady Gaga (Ren Lin), and a preview of
Daniel “Jungleman” Cates on the Life Outside
Poker Podcast.
